Transnational Mobility and Externalization of EU Borders: Social Work, Migration Management, and Resistance delves into the intricate realms of social work and international migration, specifically examining the far-reaching consequences of EU border externalization policies. The growing authoritarianism in EU border management has sparked a multitude of concerns regarding the role of social work within a highly charged and politically polarized context. This book provides a theoretical and historical framework for understanding externalization, paying close attention to the (neo)colonial legacies that shape the current migration regimes. It explores the complex interplay between social workers and key stakeholders, including mobile individuals, policymakers, and funders. Special emphasis is placed on examining the socio-economic and political ramifications of the global COVID-19 pandemic on social work with diverse populations navigating borders or confined in camps. Furthermore, the book investigates the strategies employed by social workers and refugees to resist violent migration controls and the criminalization of cross-border movements. This comprehensive volume brings together contributions from countries of origin, transit, and EU nations, where social workers grapple with the impacts of border externalization and internalization.
